A Taste of the City, Urban Food Hives

#urbanfarming #resilience #oxfam #uganda The Urban Food Hives project 2021-2024 was an initiative implemented in Uganda by Oxfam, in partnership with the Community Integrated Development Initiative (CIDI), with funding from Oxfam America, aimed at creating food systems that are equitable, resilient, and sustainable in urban settings. Before the project began, Oxfam carried out a baseline survey in the Kampala and Soroti districts of Uganda to understand the challenges within existing food systems. The findings revealed multiple issues affecting both consumers and sellers, which shaped the project’s direction. Among the key findings was the high rate of urban poverty, with 50% earning below UGX 600, 000 per year and the overreliance of city dwellers on markets, with 85-90% of food consumed being purchased rather than grown. The baseline survey also showed that female and youth-headed households face higher food insecurity, and as their enterprises are growing, there’s need for more supportive policy and finance. From these findings, Oxfam in Uganda and partners implemented the Uganda Food Hives project which is highlighted in the video.
